Feedback - why PJ Remix Beta? PDF Print E-mail

In mid-February we asked Photojunction Remix Beta users, “How likely is it that you would recommend Photojunction to friends or colleagues?”

40% of regular users gave us a score of 9/10 or 10/10.

When asked what they would tell someone to get them to try the software, here's what some of them said (warts and all).

  •  A very user friendly drag and drop album design software, with very good customer service.  Pretty beefy program.  (However, I wish the templates worked - they crash when I try to save, and a text feature, with some photo enhancement such as drop shadows would be AWESOME!)

  • Ability to print with any vendor. Excellent support and service!!!!

  • Ease of use.

  • Ease of use. Many functions. GREAT people!

  • Easy & Efficient - PJ Retro much more stable than PJ Remix.  Would like to see PJ Remix in one window screen instead of 3 separate panels.

  • Easy to use program and the support is amazing.

  • Great for album design.

  • Great for usage with client for selection of images whether it is for an album or not and much better smooth tools and looks than in Retro, faster as well although still a few bugs here and there…

  • Great software, very intuitive, well designed, easy to use, fast, great company, and great support.

  • I love the freedom that PJ offers - unlike other (template-based) programs from the likes of M Schembri and Yervant.  Whilst I have no professional design training, I love creating my own albums with my own style (or lack of it - depending on your point of view!).

  • I think PJ Remix has a great UI, it's intuitive and works.

  • Great album design software, and great personal service.

  • Easy way to design layouts and how they can then export their files ready to go to the lab.  I would also tell them about the album ordering functions and the easy to create Quicktime slideshows.

  • I would tell them to use Retro and wait for Remix to mature.

  • It cuts the album design process in half! And you get great support from the Photojunction team.

  • It is much more intuitive than earlier releases, and really, really speeds up the process of design.

  • It is pretty easy to use.

  • It is the best album planning software available.

  • It is the only choice for matted albums and a great way to design magazine albums with a classic (or matted) look.

  • It is very easy to use and very fast for designing albums.

  • It is very practical, but nothing is a  100% best way to design albums.

  • It makes the process of album design so streamlined.

  • It uses Photoshop to create collages and edit images, but is not ready to do client album plan sessions yet (ie: most people need to be able to pre-plan an unlimited number of sides before we will sell from it).

  • Very stable (compared to TDA) and easy to use; easy-to-understand interface. Very few bugs that I can find.

  • It will revolutionise our business and increase your sales and get you more wedding bookings.

  • It will work with any supplier or lab you want to use, on both Mac and PC.

  • It's a great way to create your albums. It's quite quick and works really well. There are a few things I would change but as a whole it’s great!

  • It's free to download and try out but stick with it and you'll get the hang of it.

  • it's the easiest way to design an album. it's great! you have to try it! I really like the features and the ease of use.

  • It's usability and freeform layout, integration with Photoshop

  • Very user friendly (once my initial glitch is fixed)

  • A complete work flow solution, not just album design software. It will help them cut production times and save them time and money

  • My experiences in using it from day one, it's the only package I regularly use for album layouts.

  • PJ has cut my album design down to less than 6 hours.  Pretty good, considering I was averaging about 12 before retouch.  I like the reports, and the ability to export a proof layout without exporting high rez.  I like it a lot. I'd like it if it was a 1-off license better....  8-)

  • PJ is the best there is.

  • See how easy it is compared to making templates in Photoshop - and the program is compatible with major album suppliers, so they accept the files you create!

  • Simplicity in album design, Photojunction caters to novice and pro album designers.

  • Speed of designs once the templates are up and running.  I can do a 120 image (40 side album in 2 hours).  Also love the feature of being able to organize the images into folders by dragging now instead of moving.

  • Speed of workflow is greatly increased. Full screen album planning.

  • That is a stand-alone program (no obligation with any album supplier).

  • It's lot easier than working in CS3. This way of working influences your working speed in the positive way.

  • That is the only FLEXIBLE album layout program out there and that I use Queensberry to great effect with PJ. I have also used Rennaissance (to not so great effect but just for layout purposes). As it advances, I find it to be better and better.

  • That it is a great tool to make albums and so customizable that you can really say that the design is yours, but so straightforward and easy that it saves a lot of time.

  • I love the way Photojunction takes the client with me through the whole process. I would tell them to wait for the Remix to be ready, though, because it's really no fun using the Retro when you met the Remix.

  • The support is fabulous and every possible question gets answered quickly and the movies are great.

  • …You can call for Photoshop actions straight from Photojunction.

  • …The only product out there that addressed most of the issues & concerns that we face as photographers, illustrators & storytellers.

  • A stand alone product, & doesn't discriminate between product manufacturers.

  • The most versatile product one can actually use regardless of which manufacturing company they wish to send their order to.

  • That it will make designing albums quite simple and fairly quickly.  The new version is a big improvement over Retro minus a few bugs

  • That it works really well for the proofing process with clients.  Very easy to use and is very professional looking.

  • That you can use it to design a wedding album from many different album companies.

  • The ease of album design

  • The ease that it enables album design, and the interactivity that you get with clients.

  • The ease with which you can lay out an album is worth the price.

  • The new Phojunction is brilliant!

  • The software is great to design albums and I am liking it so far.

  • There are several programs in the marketplace for album creation, but Photojunction is priced for the small studio with excellent support. Despite the price, Photojunction is the most powerful of the album creation programs that I've tested. It is very user friendly, and MOST IMPORTANTLY - it interfaces with Photoshop! Being able to tap into the power of Photoshop made my purchase of Photojunction a "no-brainer".

  • This software allows you to drag and drop your images onto a HUGE screen and resize them immediately.  You can create a photo flush mount album in an hour.  It has a billion other features to boot including saving templates YOU just made and the ability to export the layouts to PhotoShop as a PSD file.  It has saved me hours and made me thousands. I couldn't run my studio without it.

  • Wonderful means of making up digital albums where you can resize the images, make some opaque, have different coloured background and borders.  A great means of artistic expression.  Good value for money for clients.

  • You must try this (now) very easy and usable software particularly as you can take advantage of the free 30 day trial. Pj are constantly improving their products in response to user feedback.
